Google Chrome is an excellent browser, I have Firefox and it crashes all the time. Chrome also has ADM templates that are much better than FirefoxADM which is a huge plus for Active Directory administration of the browser in general.

Keyword: ADDONS.
Addons have been making horrible things better for years.
Yeah, doubt Google would build AdBlockPlus directly into their Chrome Browser.Quote:

As someone that uses both browsers actively, just wanted to give my 2 cents. Both browsers are very competitive (feature-wise) with eachother. That said, each browser also has its share of constantly changing drawbacks.
Steven is right that back in 07/08, Chrome would have been the better choice. FireFox 3 did have memory leaks, and it has been a constant battle for FireFox every since. Granted, a lot of these memory leaks were caused by addons, and FireFox has cracked down a lot since back then.Quote:

Personally, I still use it. Chrome feels a little less bloated to me at the moment, and I enjoy a lot of the features that it has baked directly in (e.g. the ability to sync bookmarks and open tabs across all of my computers at home and at work. This can also be achieved via addons with Firefox, however.) I also found that webkit/Chrome is a little more supported with other Google products (obviously), which I do use often (gmail, docs, live unified search bar, etc).
I ditched both and went to Opera. Ive been very please.
1. that's such a stupidly small amount of money that the CEO will reach into his pocket, brush off some pocket lint, and hand over 23M and tell the FTC to keep the change.
2. f**k apple users. if google can do this to compromise your security, just imagine what your beloved "secure" OS/browser system can be made to do in the hands of a dedicated, malicious independant hacker.
3. you will never convince me that Chrome > FF. Chrome has improved substantially, yet it is still the brainchild of a company whose bread & butter is datamining. even more to the point, FF has versatility that Chrome does not--thanks to the aforementioned add-on's. Perhaps if all you ever do is read chain emails and watch youtube videos...then yes, Chrome might be a better choice. FF is way better for file handling. "memory leak"? please. i've choked the piss out of Chrome with the same browsing i do on FF. if you surf extensively during your broswer session, it's going to bog down the browser--regardless of which browser.
